Sunderland boss Roy Keane says Kenwyne Jones is still three weeks away.
After defeat to Aston Villa, Keane accepted that Sunderland have missed the physical presence of the Trinidad & Tobago forward so far this season and says he is making "good progress" along the road to recovery.
First-team football is at least three weeks away, however, and it may be even longer before Keane is tempted to risk him.
